Best Sharpshooter PvP skils
In Arena PvP, skill point totals are normalized, so you will be able to max out most of your skills right away. Use those points to set up the build above. Sharpshooter is great at controlling the engagement, using mobility and stealth to outmaneuver foes before quickly bursting them down. His excellent range also allows him to pick on melee players without getting caught in their close-range AoEs. Our build takes advantage of all of these strengths to help you dominate PvP.
Best Lost Ark Sharpshooter build: Engravings
Engravings are an endgame customization option, adding powerful bonuses with which to min-max your character. You will start to encounter these around level 30, but won’t typically be able to take advantage of them until after 50. There are many generic Engravings that any class can use, but each class also has two class-specific Engravings. Sharpshooter’s class Engravings are:
For most classes, class Engravings create mutually exclusive, divergent playstyles. Sharpshooter is unique in that his Engravings are supplementary, rather than playstyle-defining. In fact, Sharpshooter can actually use both of his class Engravings at the same time, which is not a viable option for both classes. Doing this will make your Silverhawk far more powerful, and provide extremely useful damage bonuses to your whole party via the debuffs added to the Silverhawk’s skills.
Your generic Engravings are flexible, though Sharpshooter players will likely use fewer of them, investing instead in both class Engravings. Still, there are a number of useful options. These recommendations will be particularly synergistic with Sharpshooter’s kit.
Best Lost Ark Sharpshooter build: Combat Stats and accessories
In addition toEngravings,accessory items in Lost Ark (necklaces, earrings, and rings) are your source for Combat Stats. These substats can have a major effect on your character, and it is important to target gear with the right stats for your build. Sharpshooters should look for Crit and Swiftness while leveling to maximize damage through critical hits and reduced cooldowns.
Best Lost Ark Sharpshooter build: Awakening skills
Awakening skills are your ultimate abilities, unlocked via the post-50 Trixion questline. While Awakening skills have lengthy, multi-minute cooldowns, they are also extremely powerful. Each class has two, though you can only equip one at a time. Sharpshooter’s are:
For the moment, Golden Eye is the meta choice in most situations. The stealth aspect is extremely powerful, allowing for safe repositioning in both PvE and PvP content. Plus, Fenrir’s Messenger requires charging up while stationary, making it much more dangerous to cast. Against some particularly large bosses, Fenrir’s Messenger will hit enough times to make its damage worth considering, but you should default to Golden Eye in just about all cases.
